CW: Accessibility PSA, Unicode spam
PSA:
ℱ𝒶𝓃𝒸𝓎 𝔘𝔫𝔦𝔠𝔬𝔡𝔢 𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 ｔｈｉｓ is hell on screen readers/text to speech, so please consider hiding it behind a CW, and definitely never use it in your online handle. Don't make me name names, folks.
If styled text is *that* important to you, consider a social media platform that supports formatting markup. (E. g. ActivityPub implementations like GoToSocial support Markdown; markup in federated blog posts via WordPress, Ghost, etc., should render correctly in clients; etc.)

Help me, #wcag nerds. Site has many pages that are long lists of links, under headings. Links are often PDFs, Word docs, Powerpoint decks, etc. Getting some pushback on including document icons because it’s “too cluttered/overwhelming.”
My brilliant solution: only show the document icons on hover/focus. (Icons will also have text equivalents.)
Brilliant? Stupid? Accessible? Abject folly? I need opinions, please!

Failures often happen in:

⚙️ Development implementation
🚀 Production deploymentWith Accesstive, issues are found, fixed at code level, and documented for proof. ✅
Because accessibility is not optional messaging. It is regulatory accountability

Most accessibility failures are hidden ⚠️, keyboard navigation, screen reader structure, form logic & interaction design. These unnoticed gaps often lead to compliance risks and legal notices.
With Accesstive, risks aren’t assumed, they’re identified, validated & documented ✅
Because 95.9% of homepages still fail WCAG 2.2 AA standards, even when they “look fine.”

I've been using the WAVE Evaluation Tool (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/wave-evaluation-tool/jbbplnpkjmmeebjpijfedlgcdilocofh) for accessibility testing for a while now. It gives you an "AIM Score" (https://wave.webaim.org/aimscore) that you can fix on the page, and it doesn't require the page to be accessible on the internet. I like that.

I'm writing a series of blog posts recounting my activities during my undergrad #SciComm internship focused on improving the navigation and accessibility of a science website.
Your support and feedback would mean a lot to get part two (and frankly the rest) written. I don't have much confidence in my writing and I'm pretty nervous about sharing this.
